The exhibition provides a retrospective of the textile industry in Catalonia through the evolution of fashion in the regional capital in which visitors may bear witness to the chronological development of the sector and the appearance of key concepts in the country’s economy such as low-cost manufacturing, small studios, designers and boutiques.

Aside from the articles of clothing, on loan from the Sabadell initiative dedicated to Antoni de Montpalau, the exhibition also includes archive photographs and film footage and pieces by the foremost designers, such as Oriol Maspons, Jaume de Laiguana, Colita and Gianni Ruggiero, as well as those from lesser-known brand names, collections and studios.

A veritable stroll through the history of the textile and fashion industries under the direction of curator Josep Casamartina i Parassols.
